Help, how can I organize?
This probably isn't the typical post here but I need help. I'm usually a very organized person but I want to make SURE I get this right. My friend is taking digital photos at the daddy/daughter dance at church. The photo's cost $5.00 per pic, proceeds to the church, of course. I am going to be the money collector. We're told we'll be very busy and will have a line of daddy/daughters waiting. We're trying to find a good way to match the daddy/daughter with the photo if that makes sense. We probably won't know most of the daddys or daughters. The camera will number each photo. We thought numbering their receipt but if someone gets out of line (I suspect they will) that will throw off our numbering system. If we had a Polaroid we could snap and hand them the pic like the photos with Santa. That would be easy but the pics would be nowhere near as good. Anyway, we need a good organized system to keep the line moving and make sure we don't mail the wrong photo to the wrong daddy. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks.
Re: Help, how can I organize?
I'm assuming that they will pay at the dance and then the photo will be emailed to them?
If this is the case, you could have a (small) form for the dads to fill out. Name/ email/ phone (in case you can't read their email when it's time to send or if the file bounces back). Have them fill that out while in line and then after they have their photo taken, write down the photo file number on that slip. You could also have a spot to check that they have paid (or that they would like to order, but will send in money later).
ETA: This would work if you were collecting the money right after they had their photo taken, rather than before.
Will you be emailing them the photos or will they be going to a website to download them?
If they are going to a website to download then you don't need to worry about it. They can pick out their own photo.
If you are emailing it, have them fill out the form with their info. Give the form to the photog's assistant when they step up for their photo and the assistant will put the # on it.
thanks for all the great advice. we'll actually print the photos, put them in a little folder and they're to pick them up at church the following Sunday. I will contact the no shows and make arrangements for them to pick up their pics.
Make a list & fill it out after each photo is taken.
Photo # Name Phone or email
1256 John & Jane Smith 555-5555
1257 Mark & Sally Jones
Then you'll have each name & corresponding photo number. You'll also have the contact info.
